Two Seasons On One Outdoor Unit
Building codes place Cobb County in climate zone 3A. That means long, humid summers and winters cold enough to need real heat. A heat pump here handles both from one outdoor unit. It wears on cooling hours and heating hours alike. A replacement has to be chosen for January as carefully as for July.
Innovative Mechanical installs Trane and Lennox heat pumps in Marietta and across our six-county area. We measure the house first, explain what a new system would change, and leave the decision with you.

When A Heat Pump Is Worth Replacing
Most heat pumps give plenty of warning before they quit. The signs tend to show up in the winter power bill first, then in comfort. Spotting them early lets you replace on your own timing instead of during a cold snap.
A heat pump with one bad part is not automatically a replacement, and you will hear that plainly. Sometimes the trouble is airflow rather than equipment. Explore our Ductwork & Airflow services to rule that out first.
Backup Heat Carries More Of Each Winter
Lost capacity leaves the electric backup doing work the heat pump used to handle. When that repeats year after year, the winter bills alone can start to justify a new system.
The Data Plate Lists R-22
That refrigerant is no longer produced, so every top-off after a leak costs more than the last. A system on R-22 is also likely more than fifteen years old, so other major parts are aging too.
Defrost And Reversing Valve Faults Keep Coming Back
Repeat repairs on these parts usually mean the whole system is wearing out together. At that point, each fix buys less time than the one before it.
Upstairs Runs Cold In January And Warm In July
The equipment or the airflow behind it never fully matched the house. A replacement is the right moment to correct both, instead of repeating the mismatch.
The House Stays Clammy All Summer
A tired or oversized heat pump cools in short bursts without pulling enough moisture out. A correctly sized system runs longer, steadier cycles that dry the air as they cool it.
The Breaker Trips When The Compressor Starts
A compressor drawing too much current is often near the end of its life. Replacing a compressor rarely makes sense once the rest of the system is worn as well.
What Shapes The Price Of A New Heat Pump?
A heat pump replacement is priced around the house it goes into. Three things move it most. They are the size your airflow supports, whether the air handler is replaced, and the power supply for backup heat. So do the line you choose and any duct corrections the measurements call for.
That is why we visit before we price. After the measurements, you receive a written estimate listing the equipment, the indoor unit, the airflow work, and the labor. Equipment is ordered only after you approve it, and the estimate is yours to compare with any other.
What A New Heat Pump Changes
Your Current System Next To A New One
Newer is not automatically better for every house, and we will not push equipment the house does not need. Here is what a new heat pump does change, side by side. You can judge whether those changes matter in your house.
| What Changes | Your Heat Pump Now | A New Heat Pump |
|---|---|---|
| Refrigerant | R-22 or R-410A, both getting costlier to service | The lower-impact refrigerants new systems moved to in 2025 |
| Efficiency rating | Rated under the older SEER and HSPF test | Rated under the stricter SEER2 and HSPF2 test from 2023 |
| Compressor | Most often single-stage, fully on or fully off | Single-stage, two-stage, or variable-speed, chosen for the house |
| Indoor coil or air handler | Matched to the old refrigerant and the old outdoor unit | Replaced as a matched pair with the new outdoor unit |
| Warranty | Manufacturer coverage often expired or never registered | New manufacturer coverage, plus our lifetime craftsmanship warranty on installs |
| First year of service | Paid for separately | Included with a full system install |
Heat Pumps Installed For The House They Heat
Sizing Starts With Your Airflow
Supply And Return Measured Before Sizing
Before any equipment is chosen, our technicians measure how much air your supply and return can carry. A heat pump depends on steady airflow in both seasons. That measurement decides the size more honestly than the label on the old unit.
Two Lines, Known In Detail
We install Trane and Lennox, and we are a Trane Authorized Dealer. Working with two lines lets our crews learn each one in depth. They know how every system pairs with its indoor coil and how it should start up.
Coverage On The Work Itself
Trane or Lennox covers the equipment. Our lifetime craftsmanship warranty stays on the installation for the whole time the home is yours. So if a connection we made ever fails, the repair to our own work is covered.
How A Heat Pump Replacement Unfolds
Four steps, with every decision made before anything is ordered.
- 1
Contact Us & We’ll Listen
Tell us how old the current heat pump is and how the house holds up on cold nights. Also mention whether the old system still runs.
- 2
Professional Evaluation
A technician measures supply and return airflow and checks the electrical supply for backup heat. We also look at where the outdoor unit can sit with room to defrost and drain.
- 3
Honest Recommendations
You see what the measurements showed and which system fits the house. Once you approve the written estimate, we order the equipment.
- 4
Relax
Both halves go in together and are set up to the manufacturer's instructions. The system is then checked in heating and in cooling before the crew leaves your home.
Send Us a Message
Thinking About A New Heat Pump?
A Short Call Narrows It Down
You do not need to know which system you want before you call. Tell us the age of the current heat pump, which rooms struggle, and what the winter bills have done lately. That is enough to know what the visit should look at.
Bring Two Power Bills
One winter bill and one summer bill show how hard the old system works. If the backup heat has been running often, it usually shows up in the winter bill first.
If The Old One Has Already Stopped
Say so when you call. We will talk through keeping the house comfortable in the meantime. The estimate still comes in writing before anything is ordered.

Frequently Asked Questions
01Can a heat pump replace my furnace and air conditioner?
In many homes, yes. One heat pump handles both heating and cooling, with electric backup heat for the coldest nights. Whether it suits your house depends on the ductwork, the electrical supply, and what you pay to heat now. Our heating services include a side-by-side comparison of heat pumps and gas furnaces.
02Will a new heat pump lower my power bill?
Usually, when it replaces an older unit. A new heat pump has to meet stricter efficiency minimums. A properly sized one also leans less on electric backup heat. How much you save depends on how worn the old system is and how the house is used.
03Is a variable-speed heat pump worth it here?
It can be, mostly for comfort. A variable-speed compressor runs long and low instead of switching fully on and off. In a humid summer that steadier running pulls more moisture out of the air. In a smaller or simpler house, a single-stage system may serve you just as well.
04Where should the new outdoor unit go?
Somewhere with open air around it, on a level pad, and away from roof runoff. In winter the unit melts frost during defrost, and that water needs somewhere to drain. Dripping from a gutter above it can refreeze on the coil.
05Does the electric backup heat get replaced too?
Usually, when the indoor air handler is replaced, because the backup heat sits inside it. It is sized to the house and to the electrical circuit that feeds it. We confirm the backup heat works as part of setting up the new system.
